I can’t believe November is almost over…where does the time go? Anyhow, I've created more new fantasy textures. 100% free to use with attribution. They live here: TXR - Ground https://soundimage.org/txr-ground/ TXR – Paper https://soundimage.org/txr-paper/ And over 4000 more images are waiting for you as well. Enjoy…and have a good week!

Greetings! Here are this week’s new free music tracks: On my Fantasy 9 page: AFTER THE FOREST BATTLE – (Looping) https://soundimage.org/fantasy-9/ On Puzzle Music 5 page: COSMIC PUZZLE – (Looping) https://soundimage.org/puzzle-music-5/ And on my Sci-Fi 8 page: MACHINE EVOLUTION – (Looping) https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-8/ Enjoy…and have a great rest of your week!

Hi everyone, I’ve created a bunch of new seamless fantasy textures. All free to use with attribution. You’ll find them on these pages: TXR – Bark https://soundimage.org/txr-bark-seamless/ TXR – Rock/Stone – Fantasy https://soundimage.org/txr-rock-stone-fantasy/ TXR – Vegetation (scroll down for the seamless images) https://soundimage.org/txr-vegetation/ Btw, if you happen to use my music tracks, I’m releasing premium Ogg versions of them on Gumroad for a small fee to help support my website. Give them a try…they sound great! Have a good week…and keep being creative!

Well, I’m up to 1,960 tracks…it’s hard to believe…I might actually reach 2,000 by the end of the year! Anyhow, I just wanted to send out a big THANK YOU to those of you who have showed your support for my work and my website…your contributions have allowed me to make my monthly payments on my synths. They are all top-of-the-line instruments and I think it’s reflected in the quality of the sound they put out. The whole point of my soundimage project was to make good-sounding music available to anyone regardless of their budget…and it’s definitely working thanks to you! I’ve been spending time learning my newest synth which will enable me to create tracks in genres that I haven’t done before. I’ll let you know as I open new pages on my site to release them. In the meantime, here’s what’s new this week: A brand new music track on my Action 3 page: FUNKY RUNNIN’ – (Looping) – Maybe for a funky endless runner game? https://soundimage.org/action-3/ Some cool electronic sound fx on my new SFX – Electronic page: ELECTRONIC STATIC and TELEPHONE STATIC – Perhaps for situations where communications have been knocked out. (They actually sound pretty cool.) https://soundimage.org/sfx-electronic/ On my SFX – Creepy page: EERIE INDUSTRIAL DRONE – (to add to my other creepy drones.) https://soundimage.org/sfx-creepy/ And on my SFX – Environments page: UNDERWATER RUMBLE – Maybe for deep sea environments? https://soundimage.org/sfx-environments/ Have a great week!

My email address is here: https://soundimage.org/custom-work/ Keep being creative…and have a good week!

Happy Halloween! (Okay, a couple of days in advance...lol.) Anyhow, to honor this ghoulish holiday, I’ve compiled a list of about 100 of my music tracks that might work for your Halloween parties, events, haunted houses, projects and other things. Make a mix of them if you’d like! Here’s a link to the page with the list: https://soundimage.org/halloween-music/ Enjoy…and have a safe holiday!

Halloween is almost here! And in that spirit (no pun intended) I have some new free tracks for your spooky projects: On my Dark / Ominous 2 page: “The Haunted Deep” “The Front Door of a Haunted House” https://soundimage.org/dark-ominous-2/ On my Fantasy 9 page: “Ghostly Enchantment” (Looping) https://soundimage.org/fantasy-9/ I’ve also had all five episodes of my environmental learning series, “Dune’s Island” captioned.

I was busy shooting a film over the weekend, but I managed to do some mad experiments creating pixel art-style tiles. These were derived from glass surfaces, but might be used for other things as well. Free to use with attribution. Enjoy! https://soundimage.org/art-glass/

Happy Thursday! Here are this week’s new tracks…100% free to use with attribution: “MYSTICAL HIGHLANDS” – (Looping) – Perhaps atop faraway mountains where the clouds drift below you. Or maybe in the quiet alleyways of an ancient city. https://soundimage.org/fantasy-9/ Here are a couple new music tracks that might work for Halloween projects…or perhaps other things: "CREEPY HOLLOW" - Will you venture into the mist-filled forest? This track loops easily, btw. https://soundimage.org/dark-ominous-2/ “THE ATTIC OF SECRETS” – (Looping) – A dark, drafty place filled with long-forgotten things. What will you find? https://soundimage.org/fantasy-9/ Have a good weekend…and keep being creative!

Hey everyone, I just opened a new page of stone pixel art-style tiles. You’ll find them here: ART – Stone https://soundimage.org/art-stone/ Feel free to edit as needed. I’ve also created a bunch of new ground tiles. They live here: ART – Ground https://soundimage.org/art-ground/ As always, if you have any requests, feel free to pm or email me. I hope some of my work is helpful!

As Halloween approaches, I thought I’d focus this month on creating new tracks that might be useful in Halloween-themed projects (or horror, etc.) That said, all of this week’s new tracks are on my Horror/Surreal Page: SHATTERED MIND – Surreal and disturbing, this could be used in all kinds of nightmarish things I’m sure. Easy to loop as well. WELCOME TO THE MANSION – A haunted mansion that is. Muah hah hah! SHATTERED REALITY – Another surrealistic piece. Might sound cool in a sci-fi project, too. https://soundimage.org/horrorsurreal/ All of my tracks are 100% free to use with attribution. Enjoy!

OGG MUSIC UPDATE: All of my music tracks on my Horror/Surreal page can now be downloaded as very high-quality Ogg files. Halloween’s not too far off, so I’ll try to create more creepy music tracks this month. I had a super busy week creating original music for some indie projects, but I managed to get a few new free tracks done for everyone: On my Fantasy 9 page: MELANQUIRKY HOLLOW – (Looping) – Here’s a strange little piece that combines melancholy with quirkiness. Perhaps for humorously sad inhabitants of a fantasy village who stumble around drunk all the time? This one definitely falls into the “I’d be very interested to see what someone uses this for” category…lol. https://soundimage.org/fantasy-9/ On my Urban Ambience page: STREET_R29 – General street ambience. No foot traffic. Truck passes. Distant brakes. STREET_E30 – General street ambience. No foot traffic. https://soundimage.org/amb-urban-ambience/ Have a good weekend!

You can download them freely here: https://soundimage.org/art-wood/ OGG MUSIC UPDATE: All of the music tracks on my Horror/Surreal page can now be downloaded as very high-quality Ogg files.

Meanwhile, if anyone has requests for Ogg versions of tracks that you happen to like but aren’t on the site yet, just let me know and I’ll be happy to upload them for you. That said, I have a couple of band new free tracks ready: On my Funny 6 page: SEWER SHENANIGANS – (Looping) – Maybe for humorous monsters underground…or funny criminals up to who-knows-what down there. https://soundimage.org/funny-6/ On my Puzzle Music 4 page: CYBER LIGHT CHASE – (Looping) – Perhaps for a faster-paced puzzle game? Or maybe something else? https://soundimage.org/puzzle-music-4/ Enjoy!

More mad experimenting this week. I’ve been trying to create some new looks for pixel art-style images, specifically tiles that can be used in 2D games and things. On my ART – Brick page, you’ll find: A bunch of cool new brick tiles, 64 by 64 pixels each. Some have a 3D look to them. https://soundimage.org/art-brick/ On my ART – Ground page, you’ll find: A variety of new ground tiles that could work for rocky surfaces, grass, sand, etc. https://soundimage.org/art-ground/ MUSIC UPDATE: Super high-quality Ogg files are now available for every track on my Fantasy 1 page as well as my Sci-Fi/Space page.

Well, WAV files proved too large to upload onto Gumroad in any reasonable amount of time (we’re talking 1900+ tracks) so I’m uploading Ogg files instead. I’ve started with my Fantasy page. They sound really great…give them a try! Meanwhile, if anyone has requests for WAV versions of tracks you happen to like, feel free to contact me. That said, this week’s new free tracks are: On my Action 3 page: WILD WEST COAST RACING 8 – (Looping) – Here’s another one that features a blues-y chord progression (in the C and D sections) giving it a very subtle humorous feel. https://soundimage.org/action-3/ On my Puzzle Music 4 page: PUZZLE JOURNEYS – (Looping) – Maybe for some kind of futuristic puzzle game…or perhaps something else. https://soundimage.org/puzzle-music-4/ And on my AMB - Urban Ambience page: STREET CORNER_P-29 – Traffic, people talking, distant brakes squeaking, construction, bicycle passes. STREET CORNER_P-29_2 – Less traffic.

Hi guys, New free images are waiting for your projects on these pages: ART – Cobblestones More mad experimenting. I made some pixel art style images from a couple of my cobblestone images.

Feel free to edit / take samples from them / scale them as needed, etc. https://soundimage.org/art-cobblestones/ ART – Brick Some new pixel art-style brick images.

Have a good week and keep being creative!

Greetings! I’ve had a number of requests for uncompressed versions of my tracks, so I’ve begun making them available on Gumroad for a small free to help support the site. The MP3 files that I make freely available sound very good, but the original uncompressed WAV files sound really incredible…give them a try! If anyone is curious as to why I didn’t upload WAV files to begin with, the reason is that my web hosting service places limitations on file sizes and WAV files tend to be very large. Anyhow, it’s going to take some time to upload everything, so if anyone has any requests for WAV versions of tracks you happen to like, just drop me an email and I’ll upload them to Gumroad for you. Feel free to convert to Ogg or any format you like. That said, this week’s new free tracks are: On my Sci-Fi 8 page: EMERGING ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS – (Looping) – As they become industrialized, hopefully they won’t make the same mistakes we have. https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-8/ And on my AMB - Urban Ambience page, more large city street ambience: STREET CORNER_M-30 – Traffic, distant sirens, pedestrians, someone whistles, trucks passing, talking, horns, etc. STREET CORNER_M30_2 – Noisy traffic passes, pedestrians, talking, distant brakes squeak, etc. https://soundimage.org/amb-urban-ambience/ Enjoy!
